Archbishop Industries Press Release
OOC Post:
Greetings,
I am planning an IPO for my latest corporation. Some of you here will remember me from my past IPO's for Praetoria Shipyards (with Zolcan) and Sovereign (with Calladen Nimitz). I am an alt of Archbishop / Calladen Nimitz / Zolcan and have played Eve approaching nine years now including beta. I've had successful IPO's in the past and decided to run out another one. I enjoy the spreadsheets, the press releases, the market and running a business. What more would you expect from an Ayn Randite capitalist who's first Eve corp was TTI?
Anyway I've assembled a CHARTER DOCUMENT with the basics of the new corporation. Please read it completely before investing. The plan is very similar to my two previous IPO's with one major exception that being this is a 100% RP corporation and will be RP'd in its operation. Archbishop (my main) is a long-time Amarrian loyalist who is an Admiral and Director who is a former CEO of PIE Inc. Keep in mind that this IPO is completely my own operation and PIE has nothing to do with it. I am running this based on my own reputation not PIE's. My previous IPO's were by alt characters so this one is a bit different. Each IPO is a seperate venture.
The basics are this:
1. Total IPO $20b isk - Archbishop is contributinjg $15b in cash/assets so the public IPO is $5b.
2. Amarrian loyalist IPO was started a month ago and we've sold about $3b in stock (remember - this is an IC RP IPO).
3. The remaining public shareholders will be able to buy the remaining shares with a limit of $100m each (10 shares valued at $10m isk per share).
4. I am committed to having $2b-$3b in public shareholders outside the Amarr Loyalist community so I will release some of my 75% shares to allow for this.
Please read the charter document and visit the website I made for the corporation (links below).
CHARTER DOCUMENT
ARCHBISHOP INDUSTRIES WEBSITE (In-Pod OK)
Our main lines of production and other things are laid out in the charter and on the website. Dividends will be paid after calculating 100% of net profits (after expenses) and paid from that 100% figure as follows:
003.104 Dividend distribution. Net profits will be divided as follows : 50% Shareholder dividends , 20% Praetoria Foundation, 15% Salaries, 15% Corporate reinvestment.
We will also from time to time pay special dividends if the stock value increases to much. The last two IPO's I conducted also operated in this manner and paid special dividends from time to time. I find it's easier to hold the corp value at a set number then let the stock value fly all over the place (and it makes for better dividends). I'll post some links below to posts from my previous IPO's for reference.
If you have any questions after reading the Charter and Website please feel free to post them here. If you'd like to purchase stock please also post here the amount you'd like to purchase (up to $100m maximum each). I will assemble a list this Friday and will send out evemails then with amounts to each purchaser.
IMPORTANT: Please read the charter and website first. This is an RP corporation and Archbishop being a fanatical Amarrian loyalist is a target to many. Likewise per the charter the purchase of shares are limited to those who aren't terrorists, pirates and otherwise as laid out in section 004.105.
Thank you,
Archbishop Industries Spokesman for the honorable Lord Archbishop, Chairman

Some basic information about my plans for the corporation. I estimate monthly (period) revenue of $2b-$4b per month. This is actually less then my previous IPO's for two reasons first I'm busier in RL with work and second I am adding T2 to the mix whereas before it was all shipbuilding. T2 has a higher profit margin. I've run this corporation privately the last two months and averaged about $800m profit each month with moderate play. With more frequent play (possible) I should be able to turn a profit of $1b a month I'd guess. It's nice with T2 because I'm not constantly running three freighters back and forth to Jita to sell stuff like I was with PSHIP selling ships. It's alot less work for better profit. Of course no guarantees but that's what I'm hoping for.

I'll take the VC option twice (=600M) then I'd like to take 400M for my other toons. I could go through the trouble of reserving each toon individually but why waste time. So, mark me down for an even billion.

Not really. I'm estimating sales of $2b-$4b per month and profits of $800m-$1b a month. Alot depends on my RL work schedule thats why these numbers are so far below what I've done with previous IPOs.

Rules are rules Shar... but I'll keep you in mind for a venture capialist spot. As one of my oldest Eve friends your credit is good with me and I will allow Minmatar and Gallente shareholders on a case by case basis per the charter.

Well, let's assume the most you can make is 1b in profit per month.
As per your charter, 50% of the 1b goes to investors correct? That would be 500m.
500m for 20b investment is 2.5%

I figured it's best to be conservative with my estimate. I can return this amount without much work. Like I said RL is frequently busy so I've downgraded my estimates a bit. I believe with sovereign my final numbers looked like this:
HISTORICAL DATA Gross Income: $125,045,254,421 Gross Profit: $11,705,911,411 Net Profit: $9,288,951,122 Public Dividend: $4,171,941,543 Earnings Per Share: $46,561 isk Dividend Per Share: $21,241 Ships Sold: 15,095
Total Dividends Paid: In the 24 Periods: $4,171,941,543 Repay 4b Initial IPO: $4,000,000,000 Pay Remaining Corp Worth: $1,189,573,818
Total Dividends Paid from Start to Finish to all Shareholders: $9,361,515,361 Initial IPO Amount Raised a Year Ago: $4,000,000,000
Total Profit all Shareholders: $5,361,515,361 Profit Per Share: $26,807 per share Return on Investment: 134% Profit for 12 Months Average Return Per Month: 11.167%
With Praetoria I don't recall the final numbers but the period 18 numbers (after 9 months) were these and I closed up three months later I believe:
PSHIP overall statistics as of the end of period 0018 which ran from 08/01/110 to 08/15/110:
Total Ship Sales: $207,965,914,265 Total T2 Component Sales: $10,536,140,576 Total Gross Sales: $218,502,054,841 Gross Profit: $13,450,246,312 Total Expenses: $4,297,515,172 Net Profit: $9,152,731,140 Net Profit Margin: 5.17% Shareholder Dividends: $8,096,047,380 SPCS Dividend: $1,318,814,214 PIE Inc Dividend: $879,209,476 Ships Sold: 20,485
It's tough to estimate now not because of profit estimates (I know what I can make) but RL issues (I work in hospital admin and have a small startup medical consulting business in RL I'm very busy some days). I'll be the first to admit I don't have the time I used to have for Eve but I have some so I'm basing my estimates off that. To be honest I don't need the money I'm just doing it for fun. I enjoy the RP, the market stuff, making charts, the spreadsheets, stuff like that. I've always made isk but moreso I've encouraged people who want to invest mainly by giving them someone honest with a good reputation to invest with. Like I said it's fun for me.
When I started playing Eve in 2002 (?) in beta I joined TTI (with Calladen Nimitz). One of the biggest reasons TTI fell apart is people left not because of anything that happened in space but because CCP didn't focus on the market stuff at all. We had hopes for a stock market, investing, stuff like that. Most of us were in our mid 30's (back then) and Ayn Rand fans who loved capitalism. CCP failed on the capitalism front and some left while some stayed (like Shar who posted here).
My advice if you're looking for huge profits for investors go somewhere else. I have no doubt I will return a decent profit to investors, how much I can't really say right now again not because I can't estimate, I know what I can make when I play, but because of RL. But I'll make something. On the other hand if you're looking for an honest investment with a working plan and someone who is pretty trustworthy with a good reptuation I might be one to consider. It's all for fun.

You can sign up now. Basically the only people excluded are terrorists (Minmatar militia, Gallente militia, UshraKhan, Electus Matari types), pirates (you know who you are) and the like. Because this is an RP corp Archie has to be selective about shareholders however I did include the clause that non-Amarrians can buy stock on a case by case basis so unless you fit into one of those "bad guy Amarr enemy" groups you're OK with me OOC.

As a Minmatar it should be noted I will be personally taking the names of all investors and hunting them down with extreme prejudice as supporters of slavery. *Unless* said investors can persuade me that they purchased shares for the express purpose of attending the AGM and throwing custard pies at the Board / unfurling banners / etc.
OOC note: as a straight up investment this one looks at first glance ok enough if not particularly lucrative, but as an RP exercise I really like it. Every now and again someone takes the IP and runs with it to create something quite special. Whilst RP stuff generally leaves me a bit cold I like that it can be done so well and I like that people like it. For the benefit of RP then I'm happy to sit this one out and spend my ISK on autocannon ammunition with which to perforate Amarrian scum.

I can appreciate your sentiment but I'm always ooc in this forum. My choice to invest has nothing to do with RP. I've known Archie since Beta. But as for your proposition, feel free to hunt me down and burying me in custard pies, or any other such ammo, to your heart's content.

Originally by: Archbishop Industries The basics are this: 3. The remaining public shareholders will be able to buy the remaining shares with a limit of $100m each (10 shares valued at $10m isk per share).
Please read the charter document and visit the website I made for the corporation (links below).
CHARTER DOCUMENT
ARCHBISHOP INDUSTRIES WEBSITE (In-Pod OK)
If I read correctly, the minimum and maximum amount a potential investor could buy is 10 shares at 10m each for a 100m total? (Would be 50b, instead of 5b with the 5000 shares sold to the public) Slightly confused myself after reading the website and charter which both state;
Quote: The beginning value of the conglomerate was set during the IPO process at $20b isk with 20,000 shares being issued with each share having a starting value of $1m isk.
Is there/will there be space for small investors like myself with only 10-20m to invest?
Thanks in advance for the clarification! Val

Answers to questions.
1. Yes you can invest smaller amounts like $10m or $20m. No problem with that.
2. Amarrian loyalists have purchased about $3.3b worth of shares. I was originally going to release $5b but will release some of my own. So far here we have about $1.2b in purchases so thats about $4.5 total. I am willing to limit my majority holding to no less than 60% so technically with that constrant we still have a little over $3b left.
3. Yes many rp players use the third party style of speech.
Please post here if you would like to purchase (and arent an evil terrorist type). I will post a list if buyers above later today and will just keep adding until the deadline or until we are sold out.

Is there a buyback option on stock outside of Code Black, or is it up to individual shareholders to find another investor? In the case of a share sale, how is the transfer of stock handled? Put me down for a tentative 100 million ISK pending answers to the above. You've got quite a flair for business, keep up the good work.

If I were to invest $100m, for example, how much would I be getting back on that every month? This would be my first experience buying shares so sorry if it's a stupid question or something. |
